Are fillers enough for my under eyes and jawline? (Photo)

Question

I've always hated my dark circles and as I get older my eyes have gotten worse. I also have a small chin and it never bothered me until I gained weight. Can fillers solve my problems? If so which ones?

At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella​), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2​), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for providing photos along with your question. While an assessment of your skin is necessary to determine the best procedure or combination of procedures, there are several ways to rejuvenate the eye area. One is through a dermal filler treatment. By injecting small amounts of filler around the tear trough, the skin will become plump and supple, lifting the skin and smoothing out the visible groove in the skin. There is also facial fat transfer to restore volume under your eyes.

Laser and energy-based treatments, including Profound RF (microneedling combined with RF energy) that boost collagen production can also be very effective in refreshing the skin around the eyes. Fillers and Profound RF can contour the jawline and increase chin projection as well. The best way to determine the appropriate treatment is to schedule an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation, customize the best treatment plan according to your desired goals, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry! Chin filler would make a great impact in your profile. Chin filler will help elongate your profile. I would also add a little filler into the jawline as well. This will sharpen up your jawline and differentiate your jawline from your neck. As far as the under eyes are concerned, I would recommend cheek filler. This will give you more of a V-shaped appearance and diminish the downward casting shadow. Good luck on your journey!

From the photos, you would likely be a good candidate for fillers under the eyes and to the chin. Fillers are likely the least invasive way to address your concerns. Of course it would be necessary to see you in person to determine the recommended treatment plan. Make sure to see an expert in the use of fillers for facial rejuvenation.
Best,
Dr. Ort

After having 27 years of experience in using hyaluronic acid and other fillers, I would not recommend using fillers in the lower eyelid region where the skin is so thin. In my opinion the best approach to correcting your problem is with the use of fat grafting. Fat grafting can restore normal appearance and anatomy of the lower eyelid and cheek area as long as it is done by an expert Plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in fat grafting . The chin can also be corrected in the same way but it can also be corrected with the use of fillers such as Radiesse. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Fillers can help improve the under eye area by adding lost volume and evening out facial contours.  Other options such as Morpheus8 could be added to improve the overall result.  It is best to begin by meeting with an experienced injector to discuss your concerns and create an individualized treatment plan.
